I may agree with you if we did not have as many holes to fill as the Bills and a lot of mock drafts have Patterson going to us or behind us (down as far as 22). Drafting is as much about value as it is "the best player." We need 2 WRs (and a bunch of other positions) in this draft and as good as Patterson is, he is only one guy. Take the chance he is there and if not, trade back for Allen, Woods, Hopkins, etc.

we don't have as many holes to fill... our needs are completely blown out of proportion on this board. the hysteria is entertaining

we've been grooming Harrison's replacement for 3 years. And we have another guy developing behind him
we've got Lewis' replacement ready to go
our oline is intact

their is no greater need than WR now... it's not even remotely close.

We have a chance to trade up for the stud... the julio jones... or we can wait around and get value like Jon Baldwin later in the 1st, or Titus Young in the 2nd.

Now you can laugh at the comparison I just made... tell me all about how Jones and Patterson aren't similar (true), or how Jones was more proven (true)... but that doesn't change the fact that Patterson has skills that put him on a different level than the rest of the class. Patterson has "gamechanger" skills... none of the other WRs in this draft do. There are a lot of good 1st/2nd round talents... im a big fan of Hopkins to tell the truth. But NONE of them are in the same ballpark as patterson.

there is no other position that we need immediate help at.

i dont want to sit around and "hope" that a super star falls in our lap... i want to go get that star. I wont be satisfied with the runner up

I don't agree with your infatuation of Patterson ... I like Justin Hunter better... If you're comparing Patterson to Julio Jones then Hunter compares to AJ Green , and I would take Green over Julio

Pattersons infatuation is because of all his cut backs with the ball in his hands , which just won't happen in the NFL ... see Reggie Bush one of the best open field runner in history ... **** changes in the NFL

Don't get me wrong I like Patterson ... but I wouldn't give both our 3rds to go up and get him ... when at 17 we could get Justin Hunter / DeAndre Hopkins / Keenan Allen , and in the 3rd get somebody like Marcus Wheaton / Aaron Dobson along with somebody like Jordan Reed

If we're going to trade up it has to be Vacarro because we can find good receivers in the 2nd on down we can only get a safety like him early. Troy can still make an impact but on a part time basis, I feel like at this point we're going to have to protect Troy from himself. It's also a perfect opportunity to give a rookie safety plenty staps so he's ahead of the curb next year. Not to mention he'll get to learn the scheme from Troy before he moves on.

Also I love Woods from USC and I said that before the combine. He's the best route runner in the draft and he has great hands, kinda reminds me of Steve Smith. I mean if we have to take a receiver in the third on back ,he could still be there.
